Not the person you replied to, but one of my partners is mildly OCD and has to check all sorts of things before leaving, and she stresses tf out if I don't let her do her thing on the way out.

    Meds help. Without them it would be way more extreme to a degree where it isnt managable by non healthcare professionals.

    The only thing that shuts it down 100% are benzodiazepines but those are not a valid long therm solution, and are for emergency situation (heavy panic attacks) only. Benzos are allready very addictive to normal people, now imagen how addictive they are when they allow you do be free from your 24/7 OCD stress.

    Yeah, I wouldn't want to play with benzos at the best of times, but I know they have their place. It's just unfortunate how zombified they get when they have to take one when a panic attack truly sets in...
